The article explores the conceptual foundations and methodological approaches to strategic planning for the development of territorial communities in Ukraine under decentralization and martial law. The purpose of the study is to conduct a comprehensive, multidimensional assessment of a community’s socio-economic development level using the case of the Boyarka City Territorial Community, in order to identify key resilience factors and justify effective planning mechanisms. The research combines qualitative and quantitative methods within a case-study framework, applying content analysis of strategic documents and expert interviews with local authorities. The scientific novelty lies in the proposed integrated system of indicators for assessing community performance across five dimensions - economic, social, environmental, infrastructural, and cultural-civic - which together form a structured analytical tool for local governance. The authors’ contribution consists in developing a unified methodological basis for evaluating local development efficiency, adaptable to other Ukrainian and international communities. The practical significance of the study is in offering a replicable model for diagnosing the current state of a community and forming data-driven strategies for post-war recovery and sustainable growth. The obtained results demonstrate that a multidimensional evaluation of territorial community development enables more balanced management decisions, helps to mobilize resources, and enhances transparency and citizen participation in planning. The findings may be applied by local governments, regional administrations, and researchers engaged in socio-economic development and strategic management.
